The H3710-HS is the Digital Hotplate Stirrer — combines the digital hotplate (H3710-H) with integrated magnetic stirring at $882. $248 step-up over the heat-only sister (H3710-H at $882.00). Universal-input chassis (120 V or 230 V, 500 W).
SAFETY FLAG (caution): high-temperature surface burn hazard — same as the heat-only sister. See H3710-H anchor for full safety guidance.
Author confidence note (MEDIUM) — class flag: Universe consumable class is incorrect for a capital hotplate-stirrer; flagging FQ-class. No specific brochure in available corpus — confirm exact stirring speed range (typical 100–1500 RPM), magnetic-stirrer compatibility (stir-bar size range), temperature-stir simultaneous control resolution with Benchmark Scientific tech support.
Voltage options: This unit can be ordered with European voltage requirements (230V/50Hz). Contact us to order.

Why a Hotplate Stirrer
Many laboratory workflows require simultaneous controlled heating and magnetic stirring:
- Solution preparation — dissolution of solids in liquids at controlled temperature with stirring
- Reaction setup — initial reagent mixing under controlled-rate heating
- Sample concentration — slow heating with stirring during evaporative concentration
- Buffer preparation — pH adjustment workflows with active stirring during titration
Pick the H3710-HS Hotplate Stirrer when:
- Workflow requires heat AND stir simultaneously (vs separately)
- Solution preparation workflow at production / repeat scale
- $248 step-up justified by integrated stirring vs procuring separate stirrer
Stay with H3710-H heat-only ($882.00) when stirring is not required — saves $248 for heat-only workflows.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does the H3710-HS both heat and stir? Yes — it combines the digital hotplate with integrated magnetic stirring in one chassis.
What is the surface size? 10 × 10 in.
How does it differ from the H3710-H? The H3710-H is heat-only ($882.00); the H3710-HS adds magnetic stirring for a $248 step-up ($882).
What voltage and power does it require? 120 V or 230 V, 50–60 Hz, 500 W (universal-input chassis).
Are there safety considerations? Yes — the heated surface presents a high-temperature burn hazard; operator PPE and bench clearance are required.
Ordering & Configuration
Plan stir-bar inventory — magnetic stir bars are workflow consumables (typical 1-inch, 2-inch, 3-inch sizes by vessel size).
Plan bench clearance for radiated heat + operator PPE — same as heat-only sister.
Confirm at quote: voltage / plug type, intended workflow (heat / stir / both), stir-bar inventory, and lead time.
Warranty: Per Benchmark Scientific standard capital-equipment terms.
